This year’s Power of the Riff fest is going to be off the hook! Scheduled for the two nights at Warsaw, Brooklyn (September 1st and 2nd) and one night at the Echoplex in LA on August 11, the bicoastal event by Southern Lord is a pretty huge step forward from last year’s west coast tour headlined by Pentagram and Eyehategod.
Here’s the list of bands revealed so far. Expect a crazy night full of hardcore, doom, and miscellaneous shenanigans.
